ever, drew up bill providing that there be
no action in regard to the abolition of con-
Wet labor for at least two years, but that in
the meantime. if no suitable contract can
be made, articles shall be made at the state
prison on the account of the state and per-
mitting the expenditure of 500, 600 in pro-
viding means for employing convict labor.
The committee also reported in favor of the
appointment of legislative committee to
investigate the success attending the abOli-

legislature. A minority report was made
favoring the abolition after Jan. /. 1883.
and that convicts shall be taught trades and

George Frederick Parker, president. and
+. 5. Witherell, secretary of the British
American claim agency with offices on

mails for fraudulent purposes and for vio-
latng the state laws as we'll The alleged
swindle is the old one of ferreting out sup
posed claims of heirs to vast estates in
Great Britain and to sections of the $780,
000. 900 or so lying unclaimed in the
Bank of England. They made their busi-
ness widely known, and soon found plenty
of bites from the fish they were angling for.
Both are Englishmen, and Parker is alleged
to be ticket t-of-leave man, who came here
from Australia by way of California. There
were various preliminary charges, ranging
from 80 cents upward. and aggregating in
the neighborhood of S25 for eXpectant heirs.
The cash books seized by the police show
that rarely less than 500 was received each
day, and lately S400 per day was the aver
age. The books of the concern contained

preached the court of chancery, and only
paid expenses in the way of salary to a
decOy named James A. Hale, who has an
Office at 115 Chancery Lane, London, and
who wrote letters on the claims viewing
them in a favorable light. One of the cir
culars of the agency was printed on heavy
blue paper, with the British coat of arms.
The police have been at work on the case
for some months. AS early as last fall.
within few weeks of the beginning of the
enterprise, Inspector Byres received letter
from Commissioner Monroe, of the London
police, calling attention to the swindle.
One or two of his men went through the
claim well and got all the ppoints at first
hands. Indictments were found against
the men Yesterday. The police say Parker
served a term for theft nine years ago, and
later again for forgery. The have con-
federates on the other side named A. C.
